In New Jersey you cannot have multiple hippos on a roof at the same time. I can see it now:
Policeman: "Sir, please get off the roof and bring both hippos with you!"
Man on roof: "One of these is my wife!"
Also, in New York you may not have more than 23 clocks in one room. (Why is every Wal-Mart not raided!?)
We once had somebody get "bihydrogen monoxide" banned just to prove how stupid politicians are. They banned it from the entire town. It was only then we informed them that this was commonly known as "water".
